Would you join a PAC (political action committee)?

Question

Do you think americans would be willing to pay $10 per month to form a polictical action committee which would defend the constitution, elect honest politicians and end government corruption making American a better place to live. I believe it would take a minimum of 1 1/2 million members. The PAC would strieve to revive morality in the American way of life.



Are you aware of the power a PAC has?

Answer 1

well.. it would break down to something like this..

you would have wackos on both sides claiming they had the moral right to lead and the other side was not moral..
dems would say it is moral to tax the hell out of everyone to take care of the stupid people
republicans would say it is moral to let people keep the money they earn...
then liberals would say noone should make over... lets say 200k a year.. except of course them.... the rest of the money should goto welfair
cons would say cut welfair to the bone and only let people stay on it for a few years at the most..

in the end. you would have the same crap you have now.. the best way to elect honest people and control gov.. is term limits. that way noone can get a foot hold in it.. once you server you can not join any group working in politics or fund raising forever.. there your done. and normal people will start winning

Answer 2

I could be missing something here, but isn't that what we have Senators and Representatives for ? Don't they get paid enough already ? And now the $64,000 question: just whose "morality" are you going to revive - the Quakers, the Puritains ? Apparently you missed the point back in Civics 101: *you* are supposed to be the active component in a democracy. Try it sometime. I went to Washington in a massive demonstration (somewhere in 1970-71) and really felt first hand the power that 100,000's of people have in a unified cause. Instead of selling your rights, why don't you get off your *** and use them.

Answer 3

just to function slightly to what Gee bee has mentioned, below US regulation donations are tax deductible, and receivers of donations could pay a tax to get carry of those money. Donations to a %at the instant are not deductible for tax applications, and the donations do not carry any taxes. all the money, even however, could be for the applicants (re)election and might't be used for any own expenditures.
